Shock

This condition was in one of the clinical correlations which I thought was interesting how the body’s energy processes worked against themselves. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, inherited life-threatening condition that is induced by general anesthetic drugs such as halothane. Generally, most cases show no signs or symptoms until individuals are exposed to anesthesia. However, there are cases where an individual with MH goes under anesthetics and will not react. The reaction includes a…

running. However, when the cardiovascular system fails, the tissues and organs in the body don’t receive and adequate amount of blood and oxygen it needs, this is called shock. Shock is when blood circulation decreases and eventually stops. Shock can be cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular. There are three main cardiovascular causes of shock, which are; poor pump function, blood or fluid loss from blood vessels and poor vessel function. The body’s blood circulation is reliant on the continuous…

Hypovolemic shock is the result of severe blood/fluid loss causing the heart to inadequately circulate oxygen to the rest of the body (Workman, 2013, pp. 812). In this condition, there is sudden decrease in blood volume within the vascular space causing a drop in mean arterial pressure. This decrease in mean arterial pressure causes a sudden loss in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood related to the sudden decline in available red blood cells. As the heart is unable to properly pump oxygen…

electric shocks. Being that there was forty men who answered the newspaper advertisement, the Milgram Experiment was to be conducted a total of forty times; therefore, the student (Milgram 's confedetate) was to be put through agonizing pain for forty trials. Although Mr. Wallace decided to participate in this experiment, the morals behind the loud cries for help should not be inflicted purposely on another individual, much less for a total of forty times. Moreover, the range of the electric…

More precisely, Milgram (1963) measured the levels of obedience present in participants whom were instructed by an experimenter to administer electric shocks to another…

As the tension doesn’t drastically rise before the explosion the shock is raw, which unlike some war films, doesn’t romanticise the violence. This could be seen as a more accurate portrayal of violence, as all the deaths are shown as equal, with no one character having a long, dying monologue. The equality of deaths could…

Introduction: Culture shock is a term used to express the nervousness delivered when a man moves from a well known society to a totally different social or social environment than the one you used to live in. Anything can bother you, like any small things can make you feel so confused and upset very fast. Culture shock is not a disease, but it's a feeling that anyone could get if he moved to a new culture or a different culture than the culture he used to live in or than his family culture and…

Ethics Reflection Paper In Shock by Dr. Rana Awdish is an autobiography detailing the transition from physician to patient and the impact that it had on her worldview and practice. Phrases once deemed harmless bore the weight of the world once she was the person in the hospital bed. Her wishes were dismissed on multiple accounts. Medical errors are made time and time again. She deems the shift in perspective as the missing piece in her medical education. She began to see the person rather than…

In the first 3 types, perfusion is changed as a consequence of cardiac output decrease, whereas distributive types of shock are related to a primary dysfunction of the resistive component of the cardiovascular system. In vasoplegia, vascular tone is reduced and there is a noticeably depressed constrictive response of arterioles to vasoconstrictors, and is a main cause is septic shock (Levy et al., 2010). Sepsis-induced vasoplegia is a component of a generalized circulatory dysfunction that…

teachers could choose the voltage used in the shock chair but it had to be at least 15 volts. It is not morally right to give someone no other choice than to harm someone else. The First Study Milgram was studying how punishing someone can affect their learning. His experiment included a teacher that was a male recruit, a learner who was associated with Milgram, and an authority figure. The learner had to sit in a chair that appeared to be connected to a shock generator. The authority put…
